Purpose: Despite well-informed work in several malignancies, the phenotypic effects of TP53 mutations in metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) progression and metastasis are not clear. We characterized the structure-function and clinical impact of TP53 mutations in mCSPC.
Patients And Methods: We performed an international retrospective review of men with mCSPC who underwent next-generation sequencing and were stratified according to TP53 mutational status and metastatic burden. Clinical outcomes included radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) and overall survival (OS) evaluated with Kaplan-Meier and multivariable Cox regression. We also utilized isogenic cancer cell lines to assess the effect of TP53 mutations and APR-246 treatment on migration, invasion, colony formation in vitro, and tumor growth in vivo. Preclinical experimental observations were compared using t-tests and ANOVA.
Results: Dominant-negative (DN) TP53 mutations were enriched in patients with synchronous (vs. metachronous) (20.7% vs. 6.3%, p < 0.01) and polymetastatic (vs. oligometastatic) (14.4% vs. 7.9%, p < 0.01) disease. On multivariable analysis, DN mutations were associated with worse rPFS (hazards ratio [HR] = 1.97, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.31-2.98) and overall survival [OS] (HR = 2.05, 95% CI: 1.14-3.68) compared to TP53 wild type (WT). In vitro, 22Rv1 TP53 R175H cells possessed stronger migration, invasion, colony formation ability, and cellular movement pathway enrichment in RNA sequencing analysis compared to 22Rv1 TP53 WT cells. Treatment with APR-246 reversed the effects of TP53 mutations in vitro and inhibited 22Rv1 TP53 R175H tumor growth in vivo in a dosage-dependent manner.
Conclusions: DN TP53 mutations correlated with worse prognosis in prostate cancer patients and higher metastatic potential, which could be counteracted by APR-246 treatment suggesting a potential future therapeutic avenue.

Despite recent advances in neoadjuvant strategies for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC), optimal chemotherapy regimens and the role of genetic biomarkers in guiding treatment remain unclear. Moreover, predictive markers are urgently needed for radiation-sparing strategies. Therefore, we aimed to assess the predictive and prognostic value of TP53, KRAS, and APC mutations in patients with LARC undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) by retrospectively analyzing 43 patients with LARC who underwent NACT without radiation.

Given the dismal prognosis for patients with TP53-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML), the optimal donor for those undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) remains unclear. We retrospectively analyzed adult patients with TP53-mutated AML who underwent first allo-HCT in CR1 between 2010 and 2021. Outcomes were compared among using a haploidentical donor (Haplo), a matched sibling donor (MSD), and a 10/10 matched unrelated donor (MUD).

Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most lethal malignancies, with limited treatment options and poor prognosis. Recent advances in cancer genomic analysis enable the identification of actionable gene alterations, opening new opportunities for personalized therapy. Among these, homologous recombination DNA repair (HRR) gene alterations are associated with distinct biological behavior, favorable prognosis, and increased sensitivity to platinum-based chemotherapy.

Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death globally. Tumor profiling has revealed actionable gene alterations that guide treatment strategies and enhance survival. Among Hispanics living in Puerto Rico (PRH), GC ranks among the top 10 causes of cancer-related death.
